A general fault-tolerant control approach: application to a winding machine

This paper deals with a fault-tolerant control method capable to compensate actuator and component faults. This compensation is achieved by adding a new control law to the nominal one. The new control law depends on the fault magnitude estimated via a state estimator. This approach has been developed in previous work under the assumption that the state variables are available for measurement. A generalization to the opposite case, which is often the case in practice, is proposed here and applied to a real pilot plant representing a winding machine.
